Bates Mate

My amatuer analysis concurs with your rain radar read

Pretty steady rain now

I'm 6 km from the ground. Light drizzle. It's cloudy and I think may rain during the game but dossent look like it will be heavy like last week against Freo.

And Gawn played out the game with the ankle injury he missed weeks with

Park in a carpark on Flinders st. Tram or walk from there. That's the quickest way out. The car park is closed for 20 minutes after the game at the MCG. You'll be in your car and away before the MCG car park opens let alone get out of it

I think his first words after the silent death stare where, I'm great father, husband , FU mfer's, I'm gonna cup your sacks after the game

Can't say I loved it. Not a fan of giving opposition any extra motivation as insignificant as it may be to the final result

Probably not helpful Ed

Will be interesting to see. Make sense either him or Hunt , I guess. I think both offer something that harmes can't and we have enough of what harmes brings to the team. Having said that harmes has been a good contributor over a long period so I'll back in the selection committee

Does ready to go mean they are in the team ? Didn't catch the interview with Goody. I'd be happy with BBB in for weid and leave the rest of team as is. I think hunt is our best matchup for ginnivan.

That's a really good initiative from a sponsor, get on board people

Was the camp our players objected to run by the same jokers who ran the Adelaide one? I'm sure word got around to players at different clubs about what went down there.

Says in Eddie's book that the "mind" training began in the middle of 2017. Included things like training their game face as they run through the banner and the stupid stance. So yes I'd think it had a part to play in him leaving at the end of that season. That club is still recovering. Imho Ricuttio has a lot to answer for. He might not have instigated it but he knew what went down and has used his platform as a director of footy at Adelaide FC, a mmm breakfast host and Fox footy commentator to play it down at every opportunity, as recently as this morning

And Salem knocking himself out carrying a backpack full of bricks

Another reason to be proud of our Club, and reminder of the great man Jim was and his lasting legacy.

Id be really nervous about tMac coming back in to a hot finals game after that injury and long off.

I think big Stu might help touk get home, 2 very winnable games in the last 3 rounds and a home game against Geelong

He knew he was back up when he joined took a chance on playing finals instead of consistent AFL game time. Better than vfl standard but he is not breaking into this midfield barring injury

Chance to miss finals altogether now. That would be a old school MFC 2017 ,2020 like choke

Highly doubt it, they took the red eye last night. Would've landed early this morning

Yep brilliant defensive performance by us

Hunt needs to stay in, his dash gives something we have been missing

Can remember any positives, my lasting memory is that he had 2 desks in his office and talked alot about a reality bus.

Kozzie at CHF , anb on the HBF. They are taking the [censored]

Duke of Wellington also good.
